A Very Exciting New Addition to the Site Is Coming Soon

[Zippy Zapp]

Well I am excited as I love going through these old disks on my Amiga. Back in the day I was handed quite a few user group disks from the areas around me and Tracy and Modesto were not too far away, just on the other side of the Altamont pass on I-580. We usually passed them around to other users and I typically didn't keep local group disks. I may still have a few but I am not sure why I didn't keep them. Probably because disks were not free and I kept less stuff then. haha

Glad everyone is liking things so far.

Since the Software archive went live, the following has been added:

• Tracy Amiga Group (TAG) disks (9 total, donated)
• Bronx Users Group (BUG) disks (7 total, donated)
• David Dunklee's most recent versions of ADF2disk, and disk2ADF. ADF2Disk is what I've been using in this project to create all of the ADFs from physical floppies.
• Six more DevWare "DevDisks" (donated) - all engineering/programming focused.

I am likely going to take a bit of a break, but next up I want to add the entire collection of User Group disks from Memphis Amiga Group (MAG). Their site finally came down in 2023 but I collected all the disks they had made available. So, I can bring those back to life. They are really, really good. And there are a lot. The site is still viewable on the Wayback Machine, thankfully, albeit very slowly. Their predecessor group, Memphis Commodore Users Club (MCUC) also published a paper magazine for three years from 1988-1990, which is a lot of fun to look through as well.

MAG is one of the groups that originally inspired this archival project years ago after I learned about them - and really got me focused after their site was retired last year. That site was fantastic and great fun to explore. In any case, 1987-1996 with 124 disks. (phew!)

Disk-Picture, Info-Box and Download-Link are missing/not shown correctly on this page.

Thanks for the head's up. I'll look into that tonight. My guess is something in the Disk Preview is breaking the rest of the page. I've seen this happen on a few rare occasions. Thanks! I'll get it sorted out soon.

UPDATE:
I had to completely delete the original posting of that disk (DevDisk 054) and rebuild it from scratch - removing the entire disk preview, unfortunately. But it's back now. Thanks again, gybrsh.

Thank you for the update.
Even without the disk preview the sites contains a lot of useful information.

The software archive project is on-hold temporarily. I started adding disks to the MAG (Memphis Amiga Group) section a couple of weeks ago and during the process the Disk Indexing tool stopped working for unknown reasons.

I went ahead and added several more disks (which are hidden from public view) but won't publish them until we can figure why the disk preview tool has stopped working.

More soon...
